Timor-Leste Armed Violence Assessment
The Timor-Leste Armed Violence Assessment (TLAVA) project is supported by the Timorese government together with ActionAid, the Small Arms Survey, and a network of partners. ActionAid and the Small Arms Survey have undertaken an assessment to identify concrete policy-relevant entry points to prevent and reduce real and perceived armed violence in Timor-Leste. Undertaken between May 2008 and May 2009, the AusAID-supported assessment has established a Dili-based repository of existing international and domestic data on armed violence and serves as a clearing house for information and analysis.
The objective of the assessment is to provide valid and reliable policy options for the Timorese government, civil society and their partners in identifying appropriate priorities and practical strategies. Findings are released in Tetum, Bahasa, Portuguese, and English.
